Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 9, 2026
The east leg carries the load — 10,232 westbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 4,964. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,672 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,468). Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,468 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,672 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 45 collisions. 26% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 37 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 32 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Apr 27, 2022.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
Speeds here, last measured in 2009
The City's counter on Finch Ave E between Blackbird Gt and Scarborough Railpath Trl (320 m away) recorded an average of 59 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 5,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Is Finch & Morningside a walkable intersection?
